E444xAU Options H20, H25 and H70 E444xAU IF Output Options
Introduction
Introduction
This manual incorporates the installation of the following similar instrument models
E4440A, E4443A, E4445A, E4446A, E4448A with Option H20, H25 or H70.
Only one of the options can be installed per instrument due to the 321.4 MHz IF being
required as the input. When the Option IF Output is installed with Option H7L or HNQ,
the 321.4 MHz IF Output must be jumpered (8120-5066) to the H7L IN, HNQ IN, or
Option IF IN (H20 IN, H25 IN or H70 IN) for any one of the options to function properly.
Description
The Agilent model numbers E4440AU, E4443AU, E4445AU, E4446AU and E4448AU are
refered to as the E444xAU through out this document. Options H20, H25, and H70 are
referred to as the Option IF Output.
The E444xAU Option IF Output is a retrofit kit that provides the components necessary to
install a down converted IF Output connector to the rear panel of the PSA Performance
Spectrum Analyzer. The Option IF Output can be installed with Options H7L and HNQ.
Verifying the Shipment
Check the items received in the following option specific Tables on the following pages to
ensure that you have received all the items in your shipment. If there are any signs of
damage that may have occurred during shipment, or any accessories appear to be damaged
or missing, call your nearest Agilent Technologies sales or service office. See “Contacting

Installation Procedure
Instruments with H7L or HNQ
1. Remove the brown (1) wire marker clip from the E4440-60412 cable and add a red
marker clip (2) to each end of the cable. The wire marker will now read 52 (reference
designator W52).
2. Install cables (E4440-60412 and E4440-60413) and hole plug(s), as per the specific
option configuration, on the rear panel plate (E4440-00059). See Figure 6, Figure 7 and
Figure 8.
3. Apply the option specific label to cover the 70 MHz silk screen with the frequency for
the specific option being installed (20 MHz or 25 MHz). The Option H70 does not
require a label.
4. Apply the label to cover the “H70 IN” silk screen with the specific option being installed

Installation Procedure
4. Carefully route the cables along the top of the rear frame and between the board
extractors to insure that they will not be damaged when installing the chassis cover.
Refer to Figure 12 and Figure 13 on page 14. Connect the cables as follows:
• Connect the 321.4 MHz IF Input cable (E4440-60412) (W52) on the rear panel to the
321.4 MHz IF Input connector (J1) on the Option IF board. Refer to Figure 11 on
page 13.
• Connect the Option IF Output cable (E4440-60413, W41) on the rear panel to the
Option IF Output connector (J2) on the Option IF board.
• Connect the jumper cable (8120-5066). See Figure 10.
NOTE Jumper cable (8120-5066) is included on instruments with Option H7L or
HNQ. Move the cable from the Option H7L IN or HNQ IN to the Option IF IN
connector (H20 IN, H25 IN or H70 IN) for the option to function properly.
Figure 10 Jumper Cable (Option H7L)
5. Completely insert the Option IF Output board into Slot 2.
6. Attach the appropriate option label (H20, H25 or H70) to the rear panel next to the
existing list of options on the serial number label.
